=============================================================
Kevin Cherry's note on synthesizer arrangement:
Starts out on a synth, but using two guitars:
Guitar 1:
Finger
e x
BB x
G+G 10
D MajorD 10
A augmentedA 8
E MajorE x
Pick quickly A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D-A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D (all sixteenth notes) over and
over
(Technically, this is until the end of the song, when the violin comes in.)
Guitar 2:
Finger:
e 13
BB 13
G+G 10
D MajorD x
A augmentedA x
E MajorE x
Pick quickly G-G-B-B-e (The G+G and BB strings are played as sixteenth, the e
is picked as an eighth)
